Revved 2026 is a single-day leadership summit on 6 August 2026 at the Viaduct Events Centre, Auckland, run by Revved (co-founded by Anna Mowbray) under the theme "Engineering Change."
Revved returns to Auckland's Viaduct Events Centre on 6 August 2026 for a single-day gathering of what its organisers call "Aotearoa New Zealand's most capable leaders" — one room, one day, under the 2026 theme "Engineering Change." The organiser reports 663 leaders attended the inaugural 2025 edition and expects more than 800 in 2026.
The summit is run by Revved, a New Zealand business and leadership venture co-founded by Anna Mowbray — co-founder of ZURU and founder of talent-tech company ZEIL — and Rochelle Moffitt, with Francesca Blomfield as General Manager. Revved positions the Summit as the entry point to a wider year-round ecosystem: every ticket includes twelve months' membership of "Revved Assembly," a private leadership community.
It is aimed squarely at founders, CEOs, investors, board directors and senior executives across all sectors; the organiser states 85% of 2025 attendees were founders, CEOs or senior executives and 62% were women. The published 2026 speaker line-up includes Anna Mowbray, Frances Valintine (academyEX), Jason Paris (One New Zealand), Nikhil Ravishankar (Air New Zealand), Sir Ian Taylor, Naomi Ballantyne (Partners Life), Dr Alia Bojilova, Maya Pan, Mike Casey and Nicola Taylor. The first session starts at 8:15am and networking drinks run from 5:30pm, with catering throughout and a post-summit cocktail function.
The organiser confirms the venue as the Viaduct Events Centre, a purpose-built waterfront conference facility in Auckland's Viaduct Harbour. Its central-city waterfront location sits close to a cluster of CBD and Viaduct hotels and roughly 20-25 km from Auckland Airport, suiting a high-calibre single-day summit with an evening social programme.
For the New Zealand business-events sector, Revved is a home-grown, high-calibre corporate summit anchored at a purpose-built Auckland waterfront venue, and Revved 2025 is a finalist for Business Event of the Year at the 2026 New Zealand Event Awards — a signal of a maturing domestic business-events property.
